That was fixed in 3.3 branch and in 3.4/trunk,
but not backported to 3.2.

I suggest you either upgrade to 3.3.1, or disable that rule
by setting its score to 0 in your local.cf:

  score RCVD_ILLEGAL_IP 0


The default score (3.199 3.196 2.902 1.908) for that rule is quite
large and for people still stuck with 3.2.5 this is becoming more
and more a serious issue. Do we still bother with 3.2 branch (it is
not a security issue, but still a pain)? Suggestions?
